The Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau has announced that ticket sales are now live for the inaugural Providence Culinary Collective, set to take place March 27-30, 2025, across various locations in Providence. The event will run in tandem with the first-ever Rhode Island Wine Experience (Wine X), produced in collaboration with RMO PR, featuring an array of curated tastings, dinners, and immersive experiences that showcase the city’s thriving culinary scene.
A Celebration of Culinary Excellence
“GoProvidence, with the help of our talented community partners, has curated a first-of-its-kind food and wine experience for Providence locals and visitors to enjoy,” said Kristen Adamo, President and CEO of the PWCVB. “The Providence Culinary Collective brings together seasoned and emerging talent to truly showcase our area’s culinary prowess in one delicious and diverse celebration.”
Throughout the four-day event, guests will enjoy rooftop gatherings, celebrity chef dinners, educational culinary sessions, and meals served in some of Providence’s most historic venues. Additionally, Wine X aims to spotlight renowned wines while fostering a sense of community among attendees.
“Wine X is a vision I’ve been nurturing for some time – a way to highlight Providence’s culinary culture while introducing renowned wines,” said Rosanna Ortiz, founder of RMO PR and Wine X.
A Star-Studded Weekend of Food, Wine, and Laughs
